2020–2026 · the company's own current material; state filings; IDEM notice, 23 Aug 2026; Tyrepress, 25 Mar 2025; SPEED SPORT, 3 Dec 2023
Holder. "Hoosier Racing Tire is a 100% subsidiary of Continental AG" — the sentence stands verbatim in the company's current boilerplate (December 2025 release) and in Continental's own current job postings for Hoosier positions, which give the legal entity as Hoosier Racing Tire Corp. The company history adds the organisational seat: "integrated into the Continental Specialty Tire Business Unit." No later sale, spin-off or renaming appears in any carrier reached through November 2026. The name-chain ends: Newton family (1957–2016) → Continental AG (4 October 2016 – present).
Sites. Lakeville is still the company's address of record. The company's own product-bulletin letterhead (12 January 2024): "HOOSIER RACING TIRE — 65465 SR 931 • LAKEVILLE, INDIANA 46536," closing "HOOSIER RACING TIRE — A Continental AG Company." The company's 2026 SCCA contingency programme document carries the same Lakeville address; its December 2025 release is datelined "Lakeville, Ind."; the Kentucky Secretary of State annual report filed 5 April 2023 gives the principal office as 65465 S.R. 931, Lakeville, with Joerg Burfien as president at that address; the West Virginia corporate record agrees (its Fort Mill, South Carolina mailing line is Continental Tire the Americas' seat, printed in the filing as a mailing address — not a Hoosier move). SPEED SPORT, after touring both sites (December 2023): "the headquarters building in Lakeville where the main offices and distribution center are located"; "All the tires are made in Plymouth and shipped from Lakeville." Plymouth — 2307 Pidco Drive — carries all manufacturing in every current carrier, and its operating continuity into late 2026 is carried by a state record, not only company material: IDEM publicly noticed the renewal of the plant's Part 70 operating permit on 23 August 2026.
The one present-state variance prints whole. The firm's own boilerplate speaks two ways about its base. The 2020 form: "Based in Lakeville Indiana, Hoosier Racing Tire is the largest manufacturer of racing tires in the world…" The 2022–2026 form: "…Based in Plymouth, Ind. its state-of-the-art facility, including a fully integrated technology and R&D center, is solely dedicated to engineering, designing, supporting, and manufacturing the over 1,000 different types of racing and high-performance tires currently produced…" The Plymouth sentence, in its own terms, describes the facility; the same December 2025 release that carries it is datelined Lakeville and gives Lakeville as the contact address of record. The finding, at exactly this strength: the corporation's address of record, its releases' dateline, and its filings remain Lakeville; manufacturing is at Plymouth; no carrier reached reports a headquarters relocation, a Lakeville closure, or a Lakeville address change. The variance is registered, because read flat the two boilerplates contradict — the build prints neither silently over the other.
Scale and line, at carrier strength. Employment, dated points only, never merged: two employees at first (long-form company history); a handful at the Plymouth factory's opening (1979); the 2006 figure expressly declined by the founder; "nearly 500 people" (Continental, October 2016); "about 500 employees in Indiana" (IBJ, 2024). An undated compilation's "nearly 600" stands at compilation strength and is not carried as a figure. No carrier reached splits employment between Lakeville and Plymouth, and no post-2024 company-stated total was reached. The product line is racing tires only — "over 1,000 different types" in the company's current count, against John DeSalle's December 2015 "over 1400 different types of race products" (a 2015 figure for products, printed as its own item, never merged with the types line) — across dirt and asphalt oval, road racing, drag, karting, rally and rallycross, and the TrackAttack streetable-track family launched from 2024. Individually verified current marks: exclusive tire partner for the FIA World and European Rallycross Championships, 2024–2026; the 2026 SCCA contingency programme; and the company's own trade reporting (March 2025) that its Europe–Middle East–Africa business had almost doubled in the preceding one to two years, with the foreign distribution carried in Exports.
The superlative, at exactly its carrier strength. "The largest manufacturer of racing tires in the world" is the company's own formulation — its history page, its 2018 announcement, its boilerplates, Continental's postings — repeated flatly by the trade press and the Chamber. IBJ, the independent carrier, hedges: "one of the world's largest producers" (2024); in 2006 its VP "thinks the firm sells more racing tires than any other company worldwide — that's a big boast." No carrier reached publishes an audited market-share or unit comparison. The build therefore prints the superlative as the company's claim, attributed, wherever it appears — and never in the build's own voice as a measured fact.
